calcAUC: Calculate Area Under Curve (AUC) for a standard ROC plot.

Description

Calculates the AUC values for one or more ROC plots.

Usage

calcAUC(scores, truthValues, includedProbesets = 1:length(truthValues))

Arguments

scores
A vector of scores. This could be, e.g. one of the columns of the statistics of a DEResult object.
truthValues
A boolean vector indicating which scores are True Positives.
includedProbesets
A vector of indices indicating which scores (and truthValues) are to be used in the calculation. The default is to use all, but a subset can be used if, for example, you only want a subset of the probesets which are not True Positives to be treated as False Positives.

Value

A single number which is the AUC value.

class1a <- rnorm(1000,0.2,0.1)
class2a <- rnorm(1000,0.6,0.2)
class1b <- rnorm(1000,0.3,0.1)
class2b <- rnorm(1000,0.5,0.2)
scores_a <- c(class1a, class2a)
scores_b <- c(class1b, class2b)
classElts <- c(rep(FALSE,1000), rep(TRUE,1000))
print(calcAUC(scores_a, classElts))
print(calcAUC(scores_b, classElts))
